Three children were among the victims in a drive-by shooting in Chicago.
At least 13 people were shot “in just a few seconds” in a drive-by shooting in Chicago on Halloween.
The gunfire erupted at about 9.30 p.m. on Monday night, as people gathered at the corner of California Avenue and Polk Street in the city’s Garfield Park neighborhood, Chicago Police Superintendent David Brown said during a news briefing.
Brown initially said that 14 people were shot, but police revised the number to 13 in a statement early on Tuesday.
The victims were transported to hospitals in conditions ranging from non-life-threatening to critical, Brown said. No fatalities have been reported, he said.
Three children were among the victims, a three-year-old boy, an 11-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy. All three are in a serious condition in hospital, according to police.
